copper-catalyzed selectiveoxidation of primary alcohols to esters and aldehydes was developed. Under solvent-free conditions, self-oxidative esterification and cross-esterification of benzylalcohols with various aliphatic alcohols proceed smoothly to give the corresponding esters in good yields. If DMF was used as a solvent, the benzylalcohols were selectively converted into the corresponding aldehydes in excellent
